while the United States hopes to make up for the Bush administration's neglect of the South-East Asia, re-establish the identity of an arbitrator to enter Southeast Asia and China in the area and then balance the increasing influence.

far do not say, say two years ago in Georgia. Saakashvili government naively believed that, by virtue of their military relations and the United States, Russia will not dare to move it in any but the results been trounced by the Russian military, and nearly perished. U.S. and Russian strategic interests in order to exchange, in exchange for Russian support on Iran, temporarily abandoned Georgia, the end is mere lip service to condemning the Russian government.
from the geopolitical theory, Vietnam's diplomatic options are understandable, but it has to be careful, never played with fire, careless game became a victim of the country. (Ming-Bo Li)
